Mothman

Blind to what we are
We drift through life with projection
Laugh at the tears of others
Paint clown smiles to hide the pain

Voices crying out for help
No one offering themselves

Drowning in my chrysalis
Vanish in the depths of this sick mind
Above a garden of sand, I’m dreaming in color
Forced into a mold without ecdysis
Leave me be
Leave me be

Damning without knowing the feel of another’s shoes
The arches bend, the arches sway
They don’t fit, so give them away
Stop trying to box everything up
Labeled with red pen, accepted or not

Voices crying out for help
No one offering themselves
Counting each breath I take
I feel your eyes on me

Drowning in my chrysalis
Vanish in the depths of this sick mind
Above a garden of sand, I’m dreaming in color
Forced into a mold without ecdysis
Leave me be
Leave me be

(Vanishing within my sickness
Swallowed in your anguished eyes)

Drowning in my chrysalis
Vanish in the depths of this sick mind
Above a garden of sand, I’m dreaming in color
Forced into a mold without ecdysis
Leave me be
Leave me be

Drowning in my chrysalis
Vanish in the depths of this sick mind
